What's the best word in the English language?

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

The best word in the English language is the word that most accurately conveys the meaning of an idea and is also the most appropriate in any given situation.

Different English speakers have different vocabularies so, while nearly all English speakers would have no difficulty understanding a news story as spoken on the the BBC or as written in, say, the Times or the Telegraph, in relating that story themselves, there would inevitably be some words (and constructions) which would be outside their daily vocabulary. Even though the 'right' word may be known and understood by the speaker, he might choose an alternative in order to be less conspicuous and more easily understood by his audience. For example, if he were discussing STDs, he may well know the word 'gonorrhoea' but might choose the word 'clap' as the best word in the circumstances.

So the 'right' word is not always the 'best' word but the 'best' word is often chosen above the 'right' word in order to communicate more easily.

Answer 3

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language is the "F" word. It is the one magical word, which, just by it's sound describes pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "****" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be a direct object (Mary doesn't really give a ****); or an adverb (Mary is really ******* interested in John); and as a noun, (Mary is a terrific ****). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is ******* beautiful). As you see, there are very few words with the versatility of "****."

Besides it's sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:

It can be used in an anatomical description - "He's a ******* asshole."

It can be used to tell time - "It's five ******* thirty."

It can be used in business - "How did I end up with this ******* job?"

It can be maternal - as in "Motherfucker."
